Remounting

8 / 10

Eventually you'll learn about all the fancy footwork that makes for a smooth and efficient remount, but until then the most important thing to remember about leaping quickly onto your bike is this: Aim for your inner thigh! In other words, as you land, the saddle should hit the inside of your leg, and then you should slide onto it like one of the Duke boys sliding across the hood of the General Lee. You should not land directly onto the genitals. Cyclocross is painful as it is without full-on shots to the 'nads.
